Thinking of buying a corner sofa? The question isn’t just “will it fit”, it’s also “will it feel just right?” From compact styles that tuck neatly into smaller living rooms, to statement pieces built for sprawling and family lounging, our corner sofa range has been carefully curated for maximum comfort, clever use of space and style that stands out.
Why choose a corner sofa?
Corner sofas offer space for everyone to relax. Oversized in all the right ways, many of our corners are perfect for large families, or people who love entertaining guests, allowing you to relax without worrying about being squashed up on the sofa. As statement pieces, corner sofas stand out in the space, or work as centrepieces that bring the room together to take up the dead space that exists between two sofas. If you’re a little picky about optimising your space, then a corner sofa is the choice for you.
Where to position a corner sofa
Super versatile, many corner sofas can sit against a wall or out in the space as an eye-catching statement piece. Traditionally, corner sofas will sit against two walls, to free up space in the centre of your room for other furniture. More contemporary interior styles will have a corner sofa away from the wall, used as a focal point or to divide two rooms in an open-plan home.
How to measure a corner sofa
It’s important to make sure your sofa will fit in your home, even more so for a corner sofa. The last thing you want is to have everything just right in your room, but the sofa overhangs a doorway or doesn’t fit in the right place. Make sure you match up the measurements on both the left and right sides of the corner sofa. Measure the width, height, and depth - if you’re as particular as we are, you could even use masking tape to map out the shape of the sofa on the floor to ensure it fits perfectly.
